Ao-onigiri, the best onigiri shop to grab lunch near Silver Temple!

Ao-onigiri, which serves the BEST onigiri in Kyoto, is one of my favorite shops I often go for lunch.

It locates in Sakyo-ward, great access both from Silver Temple and the philosophers road, I highly recommend you to go during your sightseeing.

First of all, "onigiri", translated as rice ball, is a crust of rice formed into triangle or a ball with some fillings inside, sometimes wrapped with dried seaweed.

Onigiri is one of the top familiar food to Japanese in all generation.

We all have childhood-memories bringing them on a picnic or a school trip, and is sold everywhere at all convenience store in Japan.

If you come to Japan, you definitely should try at least one to experience the food culture we have here in Japan.

At Ao-onigiri, you order two, or more, onigiri with your favorite ingredients of your choice and it comes with miso-soup, Japanese egg-omlet, pickles,etc. (You can choose the side menu you want from the five set written on the list)
